Involvement Creates Commitment

Involvement creates commitment. Get involved with all facets of your job. Your level of job satisfaction will rise, and your understanding of the overall aspects of your career will allow you more latitude to effect change. Continually learn and strive to be the best that you can with regard to your job knowledge. Also, active participation with your co-workers, demonstrates that you are a team player. Additionally, if you work like you own the company, your job will more often than not provide you at least some of the security you seek as an employee of a successful operation.

If you feel you are not empowered to work like you own the company, test that assumption. You will be surprised how much you can do both as an individual and with your coworkers without having to ask. If you have an innovative idea, work it. If you see a problem, try to fix it. If you come in contact with an unhappy customer, help them. Claiming pride of ownership is not hard, in fact, it is quite simple – just do it!

Committed and involved leadership is a critical factor in organizational performance. You can’t yell, “Charge” from the executive suite and expect the troops to go and take the hill. A coach is right on the sideline yelling words of encouragement. The coach is not in the thick of the game, but is close enough to smell the sweat, see the blood, and feel the emotion of the players. The committed leader/coach is continually involved in the fast-paced decisions, which are required to meet the ever-changing needs of the organization and its people. As a leader, you must eat, breathe and sleep the vision of winning…that’s commitment!

The same holds true for the business team member (employee). They too must be committed to winning. The team must take seriously the challenge the organization faces; therefore, they must provide constructive input continually. After all, who is better equipped to make recommendation for improvement than the people doing the frontline work? People usually don’t bring bad ideas to the table. Granted, some input may not be completely thought out, but in a team environment, the basic idea can be quickly improved upon and continuous change made.

A well-trained Leadership team and a talented staff will be able to provide more meaningful input and higher quality solutions than an individual. Add commitment to the success formula, the leaders, staff and team members then becomes a powerful agent of quantum change, innovation, and in some cases, the revolutionary invention of a product, service or process which are the ingredients needed for success.

Success Strategies Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
